Translation services, episode 1

What follows is an actual email conversation. Names have been changed to protect identities.

AE:
How we coming with the proposal? We still on-track to deliver something today?


ME:
I still need numbers from XX, but you'll get it. I'm aiming for 4:00. {TRANSLATION: I haven't done a thing. But you'll get it}


AE:
Sweet! Have you already bounced the proposal off XX? Are you meeting with him to get those numbers? {TRANSLATION: I'm not reading your emails.}


ME:
Who are you and why won't you leave me alone? {TRANSLATION: Who are you and why won't you leave me alone?}
